WHAT IS DISCERNMENT?

Vocational discernment is the diligent pursuit of knowing whether God is calling you to the priesthood, to consecrated life, or to marriage. The process of vocational discernment can be summarized in three steps:

1. Learn the basics
2. Take a step
3. Follow God’s direction

Vocational discernment precedes the choice of giving a definitive direction to your life – the fundamental way that you will follow Christ. As with all important decisions, it is essential in vocational discernment to have good information. There are three things to know:

1. You are called to holiness
2. The vocations of priesthood, consecrated life, and marriage are three ways of being holy
3. Celibacy is a foretaste of heaven that Jesus wants to give some of His friends already on earth
